| Wyse Family 2016 |

Spring in Ohio, one day it’s warm shorts weather and the next it’s back into hoodies, but last Wednesday I got to spend a wonderful, warm spring evening with this gorgeous family!  We headed out to a local waterfall, hidden back in the woods by the river, did a little hiking, and with the help of the kids, found some great spots!  It’s been so much fun watching these two cute energetic kids grow over the last few years, I can’t wait to continue to capture them in the years to come!  Happy Spring Wyse Family!

This family holds a special place in my heart!  They were my neighbors growing up, classmates in school, fellow farmers, and wonderful friends!  The session was an anniversary surprise for their parents, and I think the girls pulled it off!  The weekend before our session we had snow, luckily that day we had 60 degrees and sunshine; Ohio weather can be so unpredictable and it cooperated perfectly for us.  Thank you all for a wonderful afternoon, Happy Anniversary Duane & Caron!

| DeCant & Johnson | Invitations

Last fall I got to capture this gorgeous couple for their engagement session, but long before that we started putting together their save the dates and invitations!  We started with April’s ideas, made some edits, inserted images from their session, and finalized their layouts!  They turned out beautifully and their big day will be here before we know it and I can’t wait to capture it for them!

What a great session to end the week with last week!  This beautiful little girl turned 1 on Halloween!  She was in a great mood, Mom and I were able to keep her moving and catch some adorable shots!  We used the rocking chair that was given to her Mom by her Grandma and the leaves and gourds I had brought in from outside were a huge hit!  I love capturing little ones at this age, the session is run by them, we roll with their likes and dislikes, and we follow them so that they can be themselves, and what’s better than catching those gorgeous eyes and long lashes up close as she craws towards you?!  Happy Happy First Birthday Zaylee!

| Appel Wedding 2015 |

What started out as a dreary, rainy morning last Saturday, turned out to be a great day for a wedding!  The rain moved out, the sun stayed behind the clouds, and the bridal party had a wonderful time!  We did Christy & Brent’s engagement shots this last summer, their wedding invites and programs, and now we’ve finished up with the wedding!  We started shooting their first look where They had their first date, the ladies took off for the church, we got creative with the gentlemen, then headed to the church to get ready for the ceremony!  From a great party bus, to a gorgeous bridal party, everything fell together just as they had imagined!  Congrats Mr. & Mrs. Appel!

There’s just something about fall in our small country town, the quaintness, the quite, and the farmers harvesting in the fields at the same time, it smells magical!  My Sunday was spent with this gorgeous senior whom I’ve known since she was small and it doesn’t seem possible she can be a senior!  Rather than heading off to the big cities, we took full advantage of our colorful and beautiful small town and then headed to her grandparents farm for even more gorgeous colors and unique spots!  It’s amazing the places you can find when you aren’t even looking that make the perfect spot for a session!  Congrats Bekah and AHS Class of 2016!

Fall has officially hit Northwest Ohio, the leaves are changing and falling, and the crops are coming out of the fields.  Last Saturday I spent a cool evening with this beautiful Dundee Senior!  We headed to her grandparents home, loaded up the gator, and went from the house and barns, to the fields, woods, and their lumber yard!  So many wonderful shots that it was hard to just pick a few for some sneak peeks!  Best of luck in your Senior year Saige and Congrats!

Fall weddings are gorgeous with the leaves changing color and the weather just a bit cooler.  We had a perfect weather day last Saturday for Jocelyn & Hunter’s wedding!  A quaint church ceremony followed by the bridal party and I taking off around town for some fun shots of the couple and the group!  Then it was off to the reception for food, fun, and dancing!  A little vintage mixed with country provided a great combination for the couple’s style!  A great bridal party always makes for fun poses and this group was no exception!  Thank you all for a wonderful Saturday, Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Shook!

Nothing recharges you more after a busy week then a fabulous weekend session!  Spending Sunday afternoon with Graicen was so relaxing!  We met at a local library, strolled around and found fun spots, her spontaneous nature sparked some great shots, and she looks gorgeous!  At only 13 years old, this new teen knows what she wants to do when she graduates and how she’s going to get there!  Best of luck this school year and Happy Birthday Graicen!

| Archbold Bluestreak Alumni Marching Band 2015 |

Covering events are always a nice change of pace, but they are even more special when the event is one with great meaning to me.  Last year I was thrilled to get to capture my high school’s Alumni band!  The staff and Alumni group have now made it an annual event at homecoming and I was once again honored to capture the evening yet again!  I was hoping to march along with them, but with the arrival of our little one only a few weeks off, I opted to stay behind the camera rather than dusting off my trumpet.  This year’s Alumni band was even larger than last year’s and when combined with the current HS band, they sounded great!  Hopefully next year the Alumni & HS band numbers continue to grow and the combined bands will stretch even further across the field!
